Cigarection 

A word to describe the feeling a person develops when craving the nicotine satisfaction provided by tobacco products.

A person will often signal their cigarection to another person by placing an unlit cigarette in their mouth, pointing down, then slowly raising it upward in a fashion similar to the development of a penile erection. If the other person also has a cigarection, they will then proceed to join them out of doors for a session of tobacco consumption.

This word is particularly common amongst core analysts and bee keepers.
"Gee, drilling all these plugs is really giving me a cigarection"

"These bees are behaving inappropriately, I'm off to satisfy my cigarection"

"I have a boner and a cigarection, I think I can manage to simultaneously smoke and wank while the boss isn't looking"
